After years of being one of the most successful Prime Ministers of Canada, Trudeau (a liberal) tried to add a provision to the Canadian constitution which concentrated on freedoms. You would think that freedom would have no opposition, but his proposition failed. Soon after, he made the "walk in the snow" right before retiring. This has long stood as a symbol for the loss of freedom and a dismal future. This particularly works for the song, which show the decay of freedom and government via corruption and lies. However, the average citizen would rather just do nothing than actually get involved ("it's hard to care").
